C. Eaborn et al., SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND REACTIONS OF ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS OF GROUPS 1-3 CONTAINING BULKY SILICON-SUBSTITUTED ALKYL-GROUPS, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 500(1-2), 1995, pp. 89-99
A review is presented of the chemistry of organometallic compounds con
taining very bulky ligands of the types C(SiMe(2)X)(3) (X = Me, Ph or
OMe) and C(SiMe(3))(2)(SiMe(2)X) (X = Ph or OMe) attached to metals of
Groups 1-3. The structures and reactions of these compounds show nove
l features not observed for analogues containing less bulky alkyl grou
